i hope so

i got the nexus 6 right now but and to be honest its too bulky, carrying it in my back pocket sucks.
if the s6 had a dev edition, i'd be all over it. can't wait to see what the ppi is going to be like, maybe 600 on a super amoled display?
god just thinking about it makes my panties wet.

Hello
thanks for sharing

what is a developer edition?
and is there a 901F developer edition?

All I know is the bootloader is unlocked so one can be on one of the top carriers without having to worry about Geohot moving to google and the potential that custom ROMs might take a while to happen as we wait for someone to break into the thing.

For free? Otherwise, it's not a very big upgrade, switching to a 1.4GHz single core. I would look into something a bit more powerful if you want to see a real difference and not get tired of it quickly.

It's up to you. The upgrade isn't a very big one, if noticeable, and I have no idea how the development is for that phone. I believe they have an official ICS release, but do not know if they have JB. Do your research.

If you can create your own builded custom ROMs and Mods, then go for it, because there is no official CM out for this device, i am too stuck with Neuxs S because development isn't dead yet, and about 1.4 Ghz, you can overclock it

Btw, i stayed here.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Developer Edition headed to Verizon and AT&T

Oh my, more choices.
Not sure if I should hold out for these versions but from my understanding either this dev or google version will only be 16gb?
Where as there is a 32gb currently with at&t?

Even more AT&T S4's will be on Swappa, craigslist, and ebay. All depending on the price of course. I would think it would have to come under the Google edition price for folks to be interested.
If this is priced under the Google Edition, I'll probably be putting mine up on craigslist when the Developer Edition it comes out.
Unless, of course, this could help Adam or Dan or someone else find a permanent unlock for the bootloader...

at&t pricing under the google edition? I seriously doubt it.
Wonder if at&t will release it before google. Samsung really whoring themselves out with this galaxy model this time around huh
Don't look now but rumor has it that HTC is coming out with a Google edition soon.
Nice! This is what I have been waiting for, best of both worlds. Just wish it was the 32gb.
If it's subsidized, I will be picking one up! Still have 2 upgrades available!!

Htc one Google edition, developer edtion, or the at&t developer edition either way I liked the sgs4 screen much better.
I dont understand the point of this phone. Why not just release one model with the unlocked boot loader?

So developers will be releasing two versions of their ROMs and kernels? One LOKI and one not?

No. They are not required to do so. However as a courtesy some will.

Thank you for pointing this out.
Half of the people posting on these threads no idea how to root/mod/flash anything as it is and are learning. Half of the people I talk to about my s4 being rooted don't even know what it means, I say ROM, they go "Whats thats!"
When I sold my s3, the guy had no real concept of what it meant when I said It was rooted running a stock rom...
"What does that mean?"
"Um... let me put it this way... You're getting better battery life, features, and all sorts of stuff than a regular S3 is..."

Don't think the phone will be worth less. Once the boot loader exploit is out, you don't have to deal with any of these issues

Whats going to be the new must have phone after the S7?

With the news now that bootloader is locked for all carriers with the exception of exynos units, i find it as a huge hit, not to mention along with everything we lost at the s6 which i almost didn't get, now i lost infrared too... Since i decided to do the preorders plus the buy one get one free im going to keep both my s7 and s7 edge but after i get the card for the second phone there will be nothing holding me back from switching phones so ill be looking for a new flagship with unlocked bootloader. Any recommendations?
Bruh, this is the wrong place to ask.
Bruh...this thing just released. Get a grip
There's the g5 and htc10 coming soon.

Moto G4 Plus just launched! Development possibilities??

Hi there! Moto has just unveiled their Moto G4, G4 Plus and G4 Play. I'm really excited, and I don't want to wait for user reviews
So I guess I'll just trust Moto with their reputation, and order one today itself if I can :victory:
What do you guys think of the new model(s)? Do you think there will be much development going on? I'm prepared to wait for the fun to begin, but I just wanted your thoughts on the matter...
I know it is too early, and probably a dumb question but there are many variants (G4 Plus has 16GB, 32GB and 64GB variants)... Could that possibly hamper development scope? Also, I've mostly seen that such variants of mainstream models ('plus', 'play', etc) do not have as many options, as far as kernels and ROMs are concerned.
m also in same dilemaa..waiting for some recognized developers words on it @Vatsal is one of them.
me3
:fingers-crossed: Ordered today, Arriving tomorrow.
It won't be hard to port all development work to the plus and play, you just need someone who knows what they're doing. I wouldn't be worried.

I wouldn't worry, as with the previous Moto G's, I expect this one to get some developers on board that know what they're doing. I'll try to help, but can't help with the first steps (twrp, root) as I'm way to inexperienced. (Been battling with the build environment for the Tab S2 for moths, would prefer to work on the code itself )
I'm still in doubt between the G4 and the plus, the latter being released here around the 9th. (the G4 is due 1st of june)

As far as I know there still is not an unlock method for the VZW S3. This has been going around for months. At one point someone was looking for a VZW S3 developer edition but with no luck

They were looking for the VZW S3 developer edition. It's a different model number but looks identical to the regular S3
And yea Wicked Sensations was in my opinion one of the best custom roms there ever was for the S3

Im aware I trolled samsungs site for months waiting for the S3 Dev Edition to come back in stock, but it never did. Ebay had 1 or 2 pop up a few years back, but nothing since.
(off topic) I was actually trying to hire someone to port a version of Wicked Sensations 5.0 over to my S5. Noone, not even the original author would respond or take the challenge.

There's a version called Wicked X by bilgerryan but sadly it won't work with the VZW S3. He's one hell of a developer. You should check the rom out. It's here on xda. Only for the sprint version
